Ivonne call me one day, she tells me that she wants a custom design: She wants to make a pendant with Ivana's fingerprint, her 3-year-old baby, who is in the terminal stage of cancer.

The truth is that my heart was knotted because I was just playing with Frida at the time (our 11-month-old baby) and made me think so many things. Immediately I offered to go where they were to take the imprint.

Marce and I went to Ivonne's house (we must confess that we were very nervous, we had not been with such a sick child before and we did not know what to say or do). We arrived, and Ivonne showed us a photo of Ivanna when she was still healthy, she clarified that we would see her very differently and that was the case.

We had been previously cut several hearts, ready to stamp the imprint and managed to capture a dozen tracks; between pausing to help her breathe or caresses that let her know that we were there, that we were taking the prints to make her a very nice pendant. We had to preheat the wax with a hair dryer and with Dad's help we took his little finger and pressed the wax so that the print could be printed. There were some, where the fingerprint didn't come complete. So we came back a day later with more hearts and we left them so that calmly and at the moment that they felt more relaxed, they would take the trails of Ivana's finger.

His mother gave us the final fingerprints and we decided to turn them all into silver (because it was such a unique piece) and chose the one they liked the most.

A few days passed before one day Ivonne called me to finally see us and decide which heart wanted to keep.

He tells me that Ivana passed away.

The day we cast the hearts (turn that wax into silver), the machine reached more speed than normal and seemed to be off the ground ... we were thinking about Ivana. That day she died, and we did not know it.

How grateful to Life for giving us the ability to be silversmiths and to make such beautiful emotions! Make a pendant with her little fingerprints, those your mom will feel each time she touches the heart.

On the back, we engraved "I love you mom" with her handwriting, from a post-it where she wrote.

Rest in peace Ivana, in your family and friends you left smiles and strength. And you will be remembered with so much affection. Thank you for letting us honor you with what we do best.
